Sticky Situation

Good Evening Everyone

I have a car which has been declarn SORN for around 3 years.

I have finance outstanding on this car £1895, its now being collected by Mackenzie Hall on behalf of Black Horse..

The complication is that this car is deteriorating the longer it is off the road and I can't afford to pay for repairs, MOT etc to get it road worthy..

I have no plans to use this car again as my wife and I share a smaller car to keep costs down as I am in considerable debt.

The is worth no where near the outstanding balance and it is on a relatives drive who is eager to have there drive back..

Ideally I would like to get rid of the car for as much as possible and pay the remainder on a payment plan. The only thing I believe its against the law to sell a car that still has finance attached.. I would really appreciate some advice with this.

Many thanks in advance

James

  • Is it on HP or a personal loan?

    Are the payments up to date?

    If HP, read the contract for options. If a loan you can sell as not secured on car so won't flag up on a HP check.
